I woke in the middle of the night as I heard thunder claps. It was raining pretty hard and as I checked the time it was 12:32 in the morning.

Another thunder roar and I let out a yelp and covered myself with my blanket.

Then there comes another. I shrieked and I realized tears are already coming out of my eyes.

If there's one thing I'm scared of, it's thunders and lightning. I'm astraphobic. Even when I would hear a thunder coming I would start panicking. I don't know how it started but I'm so scared of it. I can't even bear to watch or even listen to its frightening sound.

"Oppa!" I cried as I curled myself into a ball. At times like this Mingyu would cover my ears and make funny faces so I could be distracted but since it's the middle of the night I'm betting both of them are heavily sleeping.

Then to my horror, a loud thunder came. It sounded so loud like it was so close to me. I shrieked at the top of my lungs. I bolted out of my bed and hid myself inside my closet.

My tears won't stop and I could feel my heart beating so hard like it was going to breakthrough my ribcage.

I didn't realize someone went inside my room until I heard my name being called out.

"Mirae!"

It must be Mingyu, I was about to say that I was inside the closet when another thunder roared making me scream once again. Mingyu must've heard me and he started making his way to my direction.

When he opened the closet, he looked at me in worry. I examined his face and realized that it wasn't Mingyu but Wonwoo instead.

He reached out to me. His eyes softened seeing me in my vulnerable state.

Then another thunder came, I suddenly reached out and hugged Wonwoo. It was a reflex, I guess?

"Shh. Don't cry. I'm here." He assured. Just like when we were kids, his words hypnotized me. I slowly calmed down and stopped crying.

Just to my luck, the thunder stopped as well but it was still raining hard.

Wonwoo gently rubbed my back in comfort as I buried myself in his chest.

When I finally stabled, Wonwoo carried me to my bed. My heart thumping because of our closeness.

When I set myself on my bed, Wonwoo tucked my blanket on me.

"Are you okay now?" He asked, smiling at me.

I nodded. "That's good, I'll be leav-"I immediately reached out for his arms to stop him.

"Don't leave. Please." I said looking at him.

He contemplated for a second but nods right after. He laid beside me in silence.

He shifted to face me and I can feel myself blushing, it's a good thing that the lights are off so he wouldn't see how red I am.

We stared at each other for the longest time and I flinched when he leaned his face closer.

He smiled at me before giving me a peck on my forehead. "Sleep tight Mirae." He says before pulling me into his chest.

I didn't say anything anymore. I let my eyes closed and my heart fall deeper.

I woke up in the morning still cuddled up with Wonwoo. His arms rests over my waist. He was still sleeping and I could feel his steady breathing. I don't want to let go of this moment so I decided to enjoy myself by staring at his oh-so-good-looking face.

I gently brushed his bangs revealing his dark brows. His nose is so pointy I want to pinch it. My hands suddenly travelled to his cheeks then to his jawline. My eyes landed on his pinkish lips and I wanted to know how it tastes like. Gosh. I sounded like a pedo.

I panicked when he suddenly moved and I immediately act like I'm still asleep.

He shifted but his arms still resting on my waist. I don't know if he's awake now since my eyes are closed. I felt his breathing near my face and I don't know what I'm going to do. Then I felt something touch my cheeks making my eyes flutter open.

"Good morning!" Wonwoo cheered. His face inches away from mine. I feel so uncomfortable. I don't know why he's like this?

"G-good morning." I greeted back.

"We should probably go downstairs, Oppa must have finished cooking our breakfast." I said immediately jolting out of my bed and leaving Wonwoo behind. Well, that was awkward.

I don't really get Wonwoo. I don't want to assume that he likes me but his gestures as just.. I don't know, his gestures makes me want to assume that somehow he had feelings for me.

Wonwoo, when will I understand you?
